tModloader is already available here:
tModLoader on Steam, and has been since 1.4 came out.
As was said in the announcement thread, this version is staying on 1.3.5 until the developers of tModloader have updated it to 1.4
No... I was talking about the announcement on steam that tModLoader was going to be available as DLC. And how it's not available as DLC. And it's causing confusion on the Steam Forums. And how the
only people who know what's going on are the people who aren't daunted by hundreds of pages worth of comments to sort through.
I would've thought that was
exceedingly obvious since I
directly brought up the part about it being provided as dlc... but I guess I assumed to much.
....
Let me just catch my breath here and calm down... okay:
Hey, developers of tModLoader...
Do you know that Re-Logic announced "We are just shy of three weeks out from the highly-anticipated release of Terraria: Journey's End, and we know that as the anticipation builds, so will the excitement! Well, allow us to add more fuel to that fire with the official announcement that the long-standing "Terraria mod to make and play mods", tModLoader will be coming to Steam on May 16th as a
free DLC for Terraria alongside Journey's End!"?
Well, a lot of people are very confused as to why tModLoader isn't available as free DLC.
I know it's available as a mod program in Steam... that you have to go look for because Terraria has no link to the program. In fact, I only know this program because I searched the forums... for an hour. But there are a lot of people in the Terraria community who are still asking very basic questions in the forums for those announcements because those comment threads have over 100 pages and it's somewhat hard to tell where useful information is going to be among all the usual forum-ing.
Additionally, since the version of tModLoader you are providing is for 1.3.5.3... but Steam has
just replaced our Terraria with 1.4.0.3... a lot of people are assuming that the tModLoader you can get from Steam can't work right now. Because Steam is notorious for not letting people play old versions of any games (at least without some measure of jiggery pokery). In fact,
I was under that assumption as well. Until yesterday. When I read it somewhere deep into a forum post.
I can explain the situation over and over and over on the forums but it will be inevitably buried by nonsense. So please, if you can, contact Re-Logic and have them post another announcement explaining the situation. Thank you.
